Niagara Falls, NY station is an Amtrak station and western terminus of the Empire Corridor. It is located at Willard Avenue and 27th Street, south off Lockport Road on the northwest side of the CSX switching yard, in Niagara Falls, New York. There is an enclosed waiting area and ticket-selling location, but there is no platform, so trains are boarded in the open air. Amtrak, in partnership with the State of New York, restored passenger rail service to Niagara Falls in October 1978. More than 500 people turned out on October 29th for the inaugural ceremonies, which included speeches by Congressman John LaFalce; William C. Hennessy, commissioner, New York Department of Transportation; and Niagara Falls Mayor Michael O'Loughlin. As the ceremony concluded, the eastbound ''Niagara Rainbow'' arrived. The station was originally built as a freight depot in 1959 by the Lehigh Valley Railroad, which provided an earlier iteration of a New York-Toronto ''Maple Leaf'' passenger train over an interior route via Geneva, New York and Allentown, Pennsylvania.〔(Surviving New York Railroad Stations (AmericanRails.com) )〕〔(Existing Railroad Stations in Niagara County, New York )〕 ==Service== The station is served by six trains daily: *Empire Service (Amtrak), two eastbounds to Pennsylvania Station (New York City) and two westbound terminations. *Maple Leaf (Amtrak/VIA), one eastbound to Pennsylvania Station (New York City) and one westbound to Union Station (Toronto). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Niagara Falls, New York (Amtrak station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
